Lua Language Server Addon for premake5

This is an addon that can be used by the Lua Language Server.

It provides some definitions for premake5

Naming used:

• "modules" are named as in premake sources: complete name in lower case
• object instances are named like their corresponding "module" but with a first upper case letter
• some globals and extensions are defined

Example:

• Premake.config : premake.config working on Premake.Config
• Premake.Config : Premake.Config instance
• premake, _OPTIONS, _ACTION
• table.?, string.?, io.?, os.?
• path.???

Reminder

You can use it without an "addon manager" (whose availability depends on your IDE).

• configure luals through a .luarc.json file (by setting accordingly "workspace.library" and "diagnostics.globals")
• simulate require("premake") in your lua file

Example:

1. lua source:

---@module 'premake5'
verbosef("Running in 'premake %s'", _PREMAKE_VERSION)

2. luarc.json

{
  "$schema": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LuaLS/vscode-lua/master/setting/schema.json",
  "runtime.version": "Lua 5.3",
  "runtime.fileEncoding": "utf8",
  "hint.enable": true,

  "workspace.library": [ " PATH ROOT TO YOU LOCAL COPY /lua-d-premake5/library/" ]
}
